What’s Crime Capsule about?

Our mission is to dig up true
crime stories from America’s past and bring them to America’s present. Every
week we publish historic true crime stories, solved and unsolved. The smoking gun. The bloodstained knife. Nothing
fascinates us more than the deeds and misdeeds of our citizens that have
stunned our communities and in some cases, shaped our nation. We love the wily
ways that crooks just slip past the law, and we crave the stray piece of
evidence that clinches a case. We hate the crimes, but wonder at the criminals:
who were they? Where did they come from? What drove them to do what they did?

We travel the country looking
for the local, the weird, and the untold. We celebrate local authors who know
their stuff: who are passionate about their communities, and whose long hours
of research have given us amazing accounts of crime chock-full of all the gory
details (often literally). It’s our privilege to bring those stories to you.
